2024 Wimbledon Quarter Final matchup - [3] Carlos Alcaraz Garfia (SPN) v/s [12] Thomas John Robert Paul (USA)

[MeatTornado]

The BP conversion is becoming comical.

Combined 2/14 so far.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Disgusting Paul catching every line

 

[ojo rojo]

I'm sorry, but he can't win with his creepo girlfriend in the box. Can you imagine how unbearable she'd be?

Spoiler

 

[Hitman]

Raz needs to stay focused here.

 

[TennisFan3]

Sinner BREAKS. We are likely going 5. And that could be the match for Medvedev.
If it's set 5 vs a top player - Med LOSES.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

He will hit one highlight reel shot. But he really lacks consistency. He is getting stretch by TP of all people. LOL.

You're seeing how well TP is playing ? Respect him.

 

[flyingboris]

Paul seems to hit super hard and yet rarely misses. Looks pretty impressive so far.

 

[Hitman]

TP can absorb that pace and return it back with interest which is what is causing Raz all kinds of issues. It always has when they played.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Danger for Alcaraz here!

 

[Kralingen]

Raz needs to stay focused here.

We’ve been saying that all tournament sadly.

He doesn’t respect the game of tennis. He thinks he can just get out of any situation and doesn’t need to lock in. It’s upsetting.

His 9 match winning streak ain't no joke. He's so happy on the grass he's a garden gnome.

He sometimes has too many options, and that can be your undoing. The guy is crazy talented.

 

[ibbi]

2 points from losing the set and he comes up with impeccable serve/volley. You love to see it.

 

[NeutralFan]

You're seeing how well TP is playing ? Respect him.

Paul is not making him commit unforced errors on break points or on 40-40

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

TennisFan3 impersonation?

It seems JCF is just to chill around and to cheer him up lol

 

[NeutralFan]

Carlos's passing shots lol

 

[MeatTornado]

Starting to feel like Carlos can't win points unless Tommy makes a mistake, and he's not making many mistakes.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Paul with a great slice shot there!

 

[GRASScaraz]

Paul is the luckiest player I've seen **** this

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Tommy Paul would have a shot at winning Wimbledon 2002.

 

[ibbi]

Tommy playing so well right now, but I feel like if he doesn't win this first he may crumble.

 

[NeutralFan]

Meanwhile Sinner is destroying Med in 4th lol

 

[InsideOut900]

Starting to feel like Carlos can't win points unless Tommy makes a mistake, and he's not making many mistakes.

If Carlos can hold off Paul when he is playing like this, the other sets will be a breeze

 

[Mark-Touch]

How long has 'Raz been channeling Rafa's water bottle placement fetish?

 

[MeatTornado]

If Carlos can hold off Paul when he is playing like this, the other sets will be a breeze

That's what I thought after the Sinner/Med 1st set too

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

SP T Paul

 

[40Deuce]

There's a face from the past, Tommy Paul has Justin 'Chicken legs' Gimelstob in his box.

 

[L4S10s]

Thomas John Robert!!!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Tommy Paul takes the first set! Amazing pass

 

[MeatTornado]

That felt inevitable. Tommy's been the better player. Carlos has nothing to threaten him with even on his own serve.

 

[junior74]

Incredible shots by Paul! Threading the needle again and again.

 

[ibbi]

Incredible serve and AWESOME return. Wow.

 

[Mark-Touch]

OMG, Paul took a set from the mighty Sleeve!

 

[40Deuce]

Damn! Tommy fancies this.

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

Yes! Paul wins the 1st set. He is a matchup nightmare for Alcaraz.

 

[kevin qmto]

And Charlie blinks first!

 

[tudwell]

Oh Carlos…

I can’t imagine him actually winning Wimbledon this year. Would have to be one of the least dominant runs to a slam title ever if he manages it. Still think he’ll navigate through this one, though.

 

[GRASScaraz]

Tommy Paul is a scammer. Just runs around and steals points with lucky shots

 

[Djokovic2011]

Go Tommy!

 

[NoleFam]

Tommy stole that set. Hurt Carlos with that down the line backhand.

 

[Pmasterfunk]

Incredible hitting from Paul to turn that break point around.

Great footwork to be in position to hit that backhand, very light on his feet.

 

[Kralingen]

Get Ferrero out. Get him out right this instant.

 

[NYTennisfan]

Goodness gracious Carlos. This guy just loves making it hard on himself, nice pass by Paul to win the set.

 

[NeutralFan]

Tommy paul takes the first set. Carlos going BH DTL on freaking 30-30 and hitting it wide , dude needs a brain. Even Djokovic doesn't go BH DTL on big points unless he's locked in totally. @Kralingen your boy needs some serious coaching

 

[jimjam]

Paul is terrifying when he's playing well. Hopefully he has a few dips this match or Alcaraz is in trouble.

 

[InsideOut900]

Deserved 1st set from Paul, no doubt

 

[ibbi]

Absolute clay court match with those percentages won on serve numbers

 

[Hitman]

Raz needs to pick his game up here, he cannot afford another five setter.

 

[zagor]

Carlos is too short to be a multiple Wimbledon champion
